I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 207 Yang Tinghe: Be prepared to rebel! Liu Jian: My hometown was raided! Your Majesty has arrived in Luoyang?

Liu Jian's study.

Zhang Xun, the Minister of Rites, poured tea for Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Yang Tinghe, and Wang Yue one by one, then returned to his seat and filled it for himself.

But he also soon discovered that when the tea was poured to him, there was no more.

He didn't care, he just dropped two symbolic drops and put the teapot away.

Why should he drink? His bladder was bloated again. In a while, he would have to go to the toilet for the third time.

Now, although you feel the urge to pee, hold it in for now.

It's just that... he also found that it was too boring to hold it back.

A few old guys here seem to be playing a game of holding back their urine and being silent. It is an invisible torment of time, and it is also a kind of torture for them.

But no way.

"Calculating the time, the news should have reached Jinling by now."

In the past three days, they had never left the door, and they had said everything that needed to be discussed, said, and taken into consideration.

Discuss, review, and future possibilities.

the reason is simple……

Xie Qian suddenly raised a topic.

Yang Tinghe then put down the book and added a specific case: "The second time was in the second year of Yuankang, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, when Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was on the throne, the thirteen volumes of Suzang Miscellaneous Classics were stolen..."

"That's all, it's not urgent. Just wait a little longer..." Wang Yue sat motionless, speaking only to relieve boredom.

In short, they try to use these things to numb their anxious and tormented hearts...

In the past three days, several people have been in this state, and it is foreseeable that this anxious waiting state will have to wait for another three days no matter how soon it is, three days without sleep.

This topic has attracted everyone's interest.

"Haha, let's talk about it. Mr. Zhang is in good health and digests quickly... Our family can't. We need to make it easier for our family. Mr. Zhang, do you want to come with us?" Wang Yue issued a convenience invitation.

Who wants to be with you, a eunuch?

As soon as these words came out, Wang Yue and Zhang Yun immediately felt their bladders tightening and they could no longer hold back the urge to urinate.

"Mr. Yang Ge, look at this historical record... it reminds me of something."

"No, no. Father-in-law please come first, father-in-law please come first..." Zhang Yun quickly refused.

"Master Zhang, there is no more tea. Would you like to make another pot?"

"The following is the chaos of the Red Eyebrow Army at the end of the Western Han Dynasty... Maoling was attacked by the rebel officials and traitors..."

However, it turned out that they couldn't get any relief or calm down, and they couldn't fall asleep or close their eyes at all.

However, at this time, they made a tacit agreement not to continue the discussion.

The suffering of several people is better than the suffering of one person at home feeling uneasy.

"It seems that something happened to the Maoling of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It was stolen several times. It seems to have been during the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty? How did Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty deal with it?"

After the news of eight hundred miles of expediting was sent out, they knew they were in the wrong. Then they could not estimate or speculate on the unknown Zhu Houzhao's attitude. Even if they were prepared to face the emperor's wrath, the trial had not yet come. Before……

"Master Zhang has a good memory. Indeed, Maoling seems to have been stolen several times. According to records, the first time it was stolen was about the third year of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty. Only three years after Emperor Wu's death, his Maoling was stolen. Yes. The stolen items are jade boxes and jade swords presented by Kang Juguo in the Western Regions."

They also took care of the aftermath to the best of their ability.

"Well, calculating the time, it should be here. Plus it's rainy season in the south these days... His Majesty and Jin Ling should know the news before dark at the latest."

"Then...calculating the time, the anniversary of Taizu's death should be almost here."

This period of time is the most difficult and heart-wrenching.

This is the silent tacit understanding between several people.

Because Zhang Yun suddenly noticed the historical records that Yang Tinghe was reading, which recorded Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty... This page made Zhang Yun's eyes sharp and he happened to see something.

They also took advantage of this special period to step up screening and inspection of people in the capital.

However, after finally getting started, Liu Jian and Xie Qian didn't talk to each other. Yang Tinghe pretended to read historical records, and the embarrassing silence returned to the study again.

Whether it was a knife or something else is yet to be determined.

Yang Tinghe added without raising his head and continued to read historical records.

Then, at this time, Zhang Yun's action of pouring tea attracted their full attention. Seeing Zhang Yuan dripping a few drops of water, Wang Yue couldn't help but complain.

The most famous one is the theft of Maoling of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone became silent and nervous again.

Wang Yue's voice broke the boring and tormenting silence, and Zhang Yan quickly waved his hand.

"Huh? Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty... our family remembers that they were the more powerful emperors of the Han Dynasty, right? Emperor Wu's Maoling Mausoleum was stolen, what did they do with it?"

"Eunuch Wang, no, it doesn't matter. I'm not thirsty right now, so I don't need to drink more. If I drink more, it will be more convenient."

Yes, it’s not like nothing happened to the emperor’s mausoleum!

They even launched an action to rectify the work style of the capital's officialdom, requiring everyone to perform their duties and fulfill their duties in the coming time, and no late arrival or early departure was allowed!

This historical case directly surprised Wang Yuedu, and he immediately became curious about how the two powerful emperors would deal with the theft of Emperor Wu's mausoleum.

Taking history as a guide, they may be able to find some reference.

Especially Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, it is recorded that he was a wise emperor and an emperor with real power.

It's impossible to remain indifferent to the theft of my great-grandfather's tomb.

His words, as expected, made Liu Jian and Xie Qian couldn't help but look at Yang Tinghe.

"There is no specific record in historical data..."

Yang Tinghe shook his head, then looked at everyone, and couldn't help but add by mistake: "But, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty ransacked Huo Guang's home."

God added.

Yang Tinghe obviously knew how to make the show work. Everyone had no idea what he was thinking. They were able to contact Huo Guang and his house was ransacked after his death.

Huo Guang didn't steal Maoling!
This sentence directly made Liu Jian's face darken, and he consciously took his seat.

"Bah, bah, bah! Mr. Yang Ge, this result is not good! Huo Guang's house was ransacked, and there is no necessary connection with Emperor Wu Mao's mausoleum being stolen!"

Seeing that Liu Jian was frightened, Zhang Yun quickly spat out the tea leaves, fearing that Yang Tinghe's words had come true and good things would not work but bad things would.

"Why does Mr. Jie say this?"

However, Xie Qian knew that Yang Tinghe was not just talking nonsense. There may be basis and profound meaning in what he said.

Liu Jian also looked at him nervously. He was not Huo Guang... But during this period, especially these few days, he felt that he was a bit like Huo Guang, because he had a terrible idea. Let a young kid control his destiny.

Naturally, he did not dare to reveal this idea at all.

How rebellious!

"Huo Guang was the minister who cared about Emperor Wu's life! He was the most trusted person by Emperor Wu! Then...Huo Guang was still there at the time, and Emperor Wu's mausoleum was stolen. This...isn't it Huo Guang's dereliction of duty, and then...he It seems that he was driven by power and did not take Emperor Zhao seriously...step by step...step by step, he was completely on the road to confronting Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty..."

Boom!
Liu Jian felt as if his heart had been hit hard!
picture!
so similar!
Are they not the ministers who were left to the young emperor by the late emperor to take care of his life? The most trusted people also failed to guard the Ming Dynasty Emperor's Mausoleum!

Not only did they fail to guard it, but they also committed theft!

Then... they are undoubtedly taking action against the emperor now. Will the next step be to do what Iho did?
"Jie Fu! You, what do you mean by this? Does it mean that we will be Huo Guang, will it be Huo Guang's ending?"

Xie Qian felt a little uncomfortable. They were all trying to avoid the worst outcome. Who would have thought that Yang Ting and Li Ke would directly reveal what they were most afraid of without opening the pot.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere became even more tense and depressing.

Several pairs of eyes stared at Yang Tinghe, and Zhang Yun even felt like peeing, but he didn't care at all. All his emotions were completely manipulated by Yang Tinghe.

“Mr. "

Yang Tinghe said seriously: "What if it really comes to the worst..."

"How should we deal with this!"

"Especially, the worst and worst outcome, if His Majesty directly declares that we are treason... we..."

Pfft!
Bang!

As soon as these words came out, Wang Yue was so frightened that he fell from his chair, and Liu Jian's hands trembled, unable to hold the cup, and it broke.

"Jie Fu! How could you think so?!"

"Why are we rebelling? We didn't blow up this imperial mausoleum!"

"It's Zhang Heling! It was Zhang Yanling and the two who made a move!"

Xie Qian was so frightened that he jumped up on the spot and screamed suddenly. His expression was horrified. He was really frightened.

They really didn't discuss this nasty ending! I have no choice but to dare and subconsciously think that this will not happen!
So when they discussed the worst ending, Zhu Houzhao would rather die than come back.

The two of them sacrificed their lives for righteousness, and used their own death and righteousness to force Zhu Houzhao to come back!
I really never thought about Zhu Houzhao's other methods... They were all too wishful thinking.

Now, under this huge pressure, Yang Tinghe took the initiative to pierce the window paper, making them finally realize...

They had only one way to treat Zhu Houzhao.

And Zhu Houzhao had thousands of ways to treat them. If he picked any one, they would not be able to bear it!

They are really trying to fool themselves.

"Thank you, Mr. Xie Ge is right... Mr. Yang Ge, you, you don't need to scare us like this!? How could you suddenly want to rebel! We are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and the sky can tell us, and the sun and the moon can prove it! We are loyal ministers of Ming Dynasty!”

Zhang Yan was also frightened and quickly retorted that Yang Tinghe was also comforting himself.

"Yang Tinghe, you... you scared the Za family! The Za family did not participate in your affairs... Besides, as Mr. Zhang said, how could we rebel! From the beginning to the end, our family has been loyal to the royal family, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager. The Queen Mother’s…”

Wang Yue was also frightened and embarrassed. He stood up and held up his chair, complaining about Yang Tinghe's alarmism.

"Jiefu... run away, escape is not a problem... Everyone, please don't overreact. Jiefu is also taking precautions. But... Jiefu, please speak in a nicer tone and speak slowly... tell me why you I would think so..."

Liu Jiandu was a little incoherent, but he tried his best to calm down and still wanted to hear Yang Tinghe's thoughts.

Yang Tinghe would not act like this without any purpose.

"Chief Assistant, everyone... I think so. In fact... I have been thinking about it for the past two days, and I even have some doubts about whether our move is too intense, too radical, too cumbersome. Too anxious..."

"How...are we forced to this point?"

"His Majesty never forced our cabinet from the beginning to the end..."

Yang Tinghe simply made it clear, vented his pressure and expressed his thoughts.

As soon as these words came out, Xie Qian and the others could not help but be attracted, and their frightened hearts slowly returned to their stomachs.

"Jiefu, haven't we discussed this before?"

"Why didn't Your Majesty force us..."

Xie Qian quickly resumed the old conversation: "The first is that His Majesty openly established a temporary cabinet, which almost made us a substitute. The second is that His Majesty intends to move the capital back to Jinling, which directly caused people in the capital to think southward, resulting in a large-scale movement of people, gold and silver. Go to the south. The third is that these various actions have caused officials from all over the country to not come to the capital to submit the decree. "The fourth is that His Majesty openly wants to attack the Japanese country in the south." Kai Enke, using military force, directly took away the power of our cabinet and ministries. The fifth is that His Majesty actually wanted to find a queen himself, and he also wanted to find a woman from the Duke of Wei to be the queen... The sixth is that His Majesty reused eunuchs. Restart Jinyiwei..."

"The seventh is that he directly imprisoned the people sent by our cabinet... The eighth is that he has restarted his voyages to the West! The ninth is that he has also swept away so much money in Jinling... and has also allowed this disaster to spread to the capital and the capital. All over the country…”

"In summary, His Majesty has been pressing hard step by step in these short two months. Everything is aimed at our vital points, and he is attacking the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. We have already given in enough...enough. Give in, we were forced into a desperate situation by His Majesty, so we had to take this step..."

"We are also very passive, okay!"

"We also want to discuss and compromise with His Majesty, but has His Majesty respected us? He has not discussed anything with us. Until the Ming Dynasty, even if we have no credit, we still have hard work..."

"As long as His Majesty can discuss it and listen to our comfort... we will not risk our lives or risk our lives for righteousness to do these things. These things we do are not for the great Ming Dynasty. Do we have any selfish motives?"

Xie Qian also spoke out all the grievances suffered by his cabinet in one breath, although he repeated the same old tune...

But after Yang Tinghe threatened them with rebellion and made them have the bottom line thinking, he also felt that the more he talked, the more he felt aggrieved and complained.

None of them did anything wrong!
He didn't force Zhu Houzhao to do anything excessive, and he always gave him good words and comfort from beginning to end.

It was Zhu Houzhao who pressed forward step by step, and each step became more exaggerated and radical. No one could bear it.

They are not without political wisdom or political skills.

It was entirely because Zhu Houzhao's radical methods caught them off guard one after another, and they were forced to make dangerous moves.

But the dangerous military operations were entirely for the benefit of the Ming Dynasty!
However, what they didn't think of was... there is often a big gap between thinking and doing some things.

Think so!
But after doing it, they realized how much they regretted it... How radical their behavior was, and they were also giving Zhu Houzhao a knife!
But, there is no regret medicine in the world!
Even if it were to happen again, if it were someone else, they would still be like this!

"Yes...Jiefu, Lao Xie is right. We are not aggrieved. We also know that things are too urgent and too radical...but it has been done. Now, the done thing is done, we can only... Let’s go on bravely.”

Xie Qian's accusation aroused Liu Jian's recognition and aroused his regret.

Who doesn't know how to use hindsight, but things have already happened, so what's the point of talking about it anymore.

"Chief Assistant, Mr. Xie, I'm not excusing myself. The reason why I brought up old things again, and even... made us think about it a little bit, is just to say that the done deal is done. Even if we are wrong, we can only go one way to the end. "There must be no compromise."

Yang Tinghe quietly listened to the two people's accusations, and then added seriously again.

"We should now think about what advantages we have compared to His Majesty."

"Our previous mistake was that we overestimated our advantages... maybe it was arrogance. We held power for too long, and the late emperor was too obedient to us, too tolerant and indulgent, so that we were all under power. It has penetrated and is taken for granted by the existing ones, pushing us to think that His Majesty also takes it for granted.”

Yang Tinghe finally figured this out these days.

To put it bluntly, they were engaging in a power struggle with Zhu Houzhao.

And because... it was too easy for the previous seniors to compete with the late emperor for power, which made them arrogant, complacent and arrogant. They felt that all the advantages were on their side, and miscalculated the strength of both the enemy and ourselves.

Now...when they came back to their senses, they discovered a terrible fact.

Even though they have too much knowledge, they still lack one fatal thing, political legal rationality!
This world still belongs to their Zhu family.

The reason why they are so awesome is because they can use the Zhu family as a big platform to show what they have.

Off the platform, they are still nothing!

"Yeah, arrogant..."

Such profound self-reflection also made Liu Jian and Xie Qian sigh deeply. It was too late for them to wake up.

"Then...what advantage do we have over His Majesty?"

Wang Yue also gradually came to his senses. These people seemed to be taking desperate measures, which made him want to leave. He came here not to seriously participate in rebellion.

"Our advantage……"

Xie Qian was asked.

"Our advantage is... Shilin's advantage, right? It's..."

After thinking for a long time, he suddenly realized that they only had the advantage of public opinion, and in the past few days, they had also launched a campaign.

"These are not advantages! What we have to think about now is... Your Majesty, until the last step, what can we rely on to save our lives and what can we rely on to resist..."

Yang Tinghe immediately corrected him: "First, we have millions of silver now. Second... what we can mobilize now is the Changling Guards. Third... we are closer to the border here. If it really comes to the last step... we Can we save our family and our lives! Can we rely on the Empress Dowager and the clan in the capital..."

"Stop! Stop!"

"stop!"

"Jie Fu, your idea is too dangerous!"

"We have really come this far! We are really no different from the rebellious officials and traitors!"

"No one in the world will support us!"

"Your Majesty, he will never come to this! We are just asking him to come back!"

Liu Jian was so excited that he stopped Yang Tinghe from talking any more, because if he talked any more, it would completely violate their original intention!
They never thought about real rebellion!
Yang Ting and these advantages are all possessed by Huo Guang, Cao Cao and others!
Besides, to do these things... they need time, and where do they have time now!

This is the weakness and compromising nature of their scholars. They neither fight thoroughly nor dare to truly fight to the bottom line.

Even if...even if it comes to this, they are still holding on to a bit of luck.

Yang Tinghe also decisively stopped talking. Some things just need to be started and planted.

After all, they still have plenty of time, don’t they?

"Yes, stop talking! Besides, the Za family doesn't dare to stay here anymore..."

"Mr. Yang, look how frightened the chief assistant is by you..."

Wang Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that he would be inexplicably dragged into the rebellion discussion process, so that he would really be unable to clean himself up.

"Yeah...it's terrible!"

"Master Yang, what you said..."

Zhang Yun unknowingly noticed that cold sweat was soaking his back. The topic was finally moved away, and he felt as if he could breathe easier.

"There are still some things going on in the Zajia Palace..."

Seeing that the topic ended here, Wang Yue did not dare to stay any longer. After saying one word, he was about to leave.

"Okay... we also..."

Everyone also wanted to escape from this depressing and terrifying environment first.

Boom boom boom!
But at this moment, there was a quick knock on the door.

This sudden knock on the door immediately made everyone's hearts suddenly rise again, and they were all startled.

"who!"

All five people subconsciously looked outside the door.

"Master! He's from Luoyang's hometown. He...he has urgent things to report to the master!"

The housekeeper's panicked voice came from outside the door.

"Hometown in Luoyang...?"

At this location, the five people breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the news was not from Jinling.

"Since it's the chief minister's family matter, let's leave first."

Xie Qian and Zhang Yan both took the initiative to get up. Today's gathering is actually almost over.

Especially everything Yang Tinghe said was too scary, and they had to digest it carefully.

"In this case...I won't see you off anymore. Eunuch Wang, please open the door."

Liu Jian just breathed a sigh of relief and felt completely relaxed.

Really, when it comes to his family, he feels inexplicably stable, especially his hometown.

"it is good!"

Wang Yue took the initiative to open the door with a smile.

As soon as the door opened, it was the anxious housekeeper supporting the dying messenger.

This scene made everyone a little stunned as to what was going on.

"Great uncle, no... it's not good, our Liu family has been ransacked!"

"His Majesty decrees that we are treason!"

"All of our Liu family were captured by the Jinyi Guards!"

Before they had time to ask in detail, when the messenger saw Liu Jian, he used up the last bit of strength in his life to say this bolt from the blue.

After saying that, he fainted and simply fell outside the door.

then……

Wang Yue, with a smile on his face, froze at the door.

Xie Qian seemed to have been cursed by a wooden man. He held his chair stiffly and stared blankly at the fallen messenger outside the door.

Zhang Yan was facing the door, and the flattering smile on his face had completely frozen.

As for Yang Tinghe, his movement of putting away the historical records also froze.

At the end, Liu Jian half stood up on the chair, as if his acupuncture points were being tapped.

The air, time, and space all seemed to freeze at this moment.

Let a statue painting form here.

"Old... Master, I, what should we do? Xiao, Xiao, I don't want to die!"

The housekeeper's frightened cry completely broke the frozen moment.

however……

Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Yang Tinghe, Wang Yue, and Zhang Yun all turned a deaf ear, as if they had not heard anything.

"You, what did you say?"

"Say it again! No? Chief Assistant, who is this guy!?"

"What kind of house confiscation?!"

"Why did His Majesty declare rebellion!?"

"Your Majesty, have you arrived in Luoyang?"

"If you rush for eight hundred miles, wouldn't it just arrive in His Majesty's hands at most!?"

Wang Yue was the first to react. He grabbed the butler's collar excitedly and yelled out with his hoarse and sharp voice without giving up.

then……

A pool of water quickly spread and bloomed under his buttocks.
